Please do not prevent our most trusted neighbors from helping us in vetting our state school board candidates.

HB228 Utah State Board of Education Elections and Reporting Amendments (Green, B.) allows the party delegates we elect in caucus to dig deeper into candidate qualifications and principles and choose better candidates for the general election ballot.

Don’t worry that the public education establishment will flood the caucuses and affect the outcome of legislative elections. They already have all the incentive they need to elect legislators who control their funding. They have no more representation to send than they already send to caucuses.
